Brain work

First discovery: I trained on T1w/T1w_acpc_dc, they registered T1w_acpc_dc_restore. This is fine for eval since I have both types for all images, but is a problem for fair comparison: my library is getting a huge advantage by operating on skull stripped images. In addition, this means I can't just use their atlas- will have to build my own to do a completely fair comparison.

I have sent email asking why they are not skull stripping- perhaps they have an excellent reason and I need to retrain with skulls, or perhaps they should just stick to ants and add a stripping step. Hard to say without more information.

Evalutation methodology: To get a DICE score for their current approach for a pair of images, I warp both segmentations to their atlas using the script they sent, then calculate DICE

To get a DICE score for ICON for a pair of images, I warp the segmentation from one to the other image, then calculate DICE. This will change once I have an ICON atlas built in the next few days.

Noting that this comparison is not fair in the above ways, it looks like ICON performs significantly better than their current approach. On 20 random pairs:

Very promising! But I am not ready to share these results with colaborators yet. First I need to

  • convince them to switch to skull stripping, or train with skulls on

  • train a full resolution brain model- current results are half res while ants is using the full res images. This should hugely boost ICON's performance

  • compare number of folds

  • create an atlas and do both computations in atlas space

  • get raul to read my evaluation code and find where I messed up

Monai work with Basar

Collaborated with Basar to update usability of ICON with monai. Need to check in again with him to see how that is going

ICON pretrained models optimization for OAI pipeline

Fully integrated Lin's bug fix about persistent identity maps, released new pre-trained models that are ~300 mb instead of ~1.2GB. Need to put into pypi, then will integrate into oai_analysis_2
